A rectangular container is 5 cm wide and 15 cm long, and contains water to a depth of 8 cm. An object is placed in the water and the water rises 2.3 cm. What is the volume of the object?

Answer 1

Answering this question requires you to how to calculate the volume of a cuboid.

Volume=Height x length x Width. If the object is under water and does not absorb any of the water, then the volume of the object is equal to the volume of the water displaced.Then you just need to know that the volume of the water displaced is in the shape of a cuboid with a height of 2.3 cm. This is enough information to answer this question.
